Stitched....

For those of you that have figured me out, I do love linen and I do love embroidery (and this cushion above).

I have quite a lot of pieces of said loveliness and always want more.

white senseNow, I am not one to want the fussy,multi coloured kind. For me it either has to be plain white on white...

Like this or, white on a natural linen.

As for the type of work that always catches my eye that would be anything in text- initials, one letter and the like. I do love floral work too...but also in white.

It is books like Made In France that have made this art form gain ground again and turned it from something beautiful that Gran done in the day that you thought was impatiently impossible, into something very attainable, try-able, and chic.I am adding this book and any embroidery/cross stitch book to my Santa list for this year (must get on to making that list)...and possibly some more hours in the day.Wonder if Santa can provide?white senseloving this lamp cover. Is it because it has an 'L', or the fact I have a lamp base almost the same as this - colour too!...hmmmm!!

white senseDo you think I would be able to make something like this?I need a little push to give it a go. This cushion/pillow cover I am very in love with and would love to have some for our sofa, or bed.

Also loving the curtains!

And look how perfect they look with the lamp shade cover =0)

...but I would just be happy to have me some of these cushions.maybe I will give it a go.Sorry for my embroidery love ramblings today,

Ah, Ness, you're a woman after my own heart. That book is one of my most prized possessions. There are heaps more in the series - Bleu, Rouge, Anges, Coeurs, Vert, Rose and A Rainbow of Stitches. Heaven! J x

It is a beautiful book Ness, I have this book and I have even attempted a few projects from it and I am no sewer that's for sure. The pictures alone are enough to get a novice like me started. Beautiful!

Gorgeous book and absolutely heavenly pics! I have made both styles of lampshades Ness and you could do them in your sleep!! I would love to see what you make, you know I share your love (ok obsession) with all things monogrammed :D Hope you are having a wonderful week, lovely ~ Txx
